October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month! Is your business prepared?
Cybersecurity isn't just a concern for large corporations. Small businesses, entrepreneurs, and organizations of all sizes need to be ready to recognize and respond to digital threats.
The Indiana Office of Technology has put together a 2026 Cybersecurity Awareness Month Toolkit packed with educational resources, practical tips, and engaging training opportunities!
Topics include:
✅ Protecting your workplace from cyber threats
✅ Recognizing AI-generated deepfakes and phishing scams
✅ Understanding ransomware and social engineering
✅ Keeping employees, families, and vulnerable populations safe online
✅ Making cybersecurity education engaging and approachable
Whether you're a business owner looking to strengthen your cybersecurity practices or an organization supporting entrepreneurs, this toolkit is worth exploring!
A quick note: Some training resources are specifically for State of Indiana employees, but the toolkit also includes publicly accessible resources that businesses and community members can use.
📌 Check out the toolkit and consider sharing it with your team. A little awareness today can prevent a major headache tomorrow!
Governor Mike Braun proclaimed October as Cybersecurity Awareness Month, encouraging Hoosiers to stay vigilant, protect online information and help keep the digital community secure.
IDHS will be sharing cybersecurity information and preparedness tips throughout the month to make sure Indiana’s critical infrastructure sectors are as safe as possible.
